BACKGROUND:
The mini -warehouse site was reviewed and approved by the Commission at their
February 17, 2000, Public Hearing as a Conditional Use Permit to allow the site (3.75
acres) to develop with six buildings on C-3, General Commercial zoned property.
On the western portion of the site the applicant proposed to subdivide the site into three
commercial lots and to rezone the site from C-3 to PCD to allow for the development of
the site with a mini -warehouse development (Lot 3), a carwash (Lot 1) and an
unidentified C-3 uses to be located on Lot 2. The applicant later revised his request to
FILE NO.: Z -7351-B (Cont.
remove the Lot 3 development from the site plan and resubmit when plans were
finalized.
The plat required a variance from the Subdivision Ordinance [Section 31-2311 to allow
the creation of a lot without public street frontage (S-1374). Lot 3 was to be served by a
30 -foot access easement located on the lot lines of Lots 1 and 2. The Board of
Directors adopted Ordinance No. 18,823 and Ordinance No. 18,824 on March 4, 2002,
establishing the Planned Commercial Development zoning and creating the plat
variance for the development.
Ordinance No, 19,059 adopted by the Little Rock Board of Directors on March 2, 2004,
revised the previously approved PCD to allow the development of the mini -warehouse
units on Lot 3. The development was to be constructed in two phases with all the slabs
being installed in the first phase. The applicant indicated access to the site would be
from the existing mini -warehouse development located to the east. The applicant
indicated the existing Lot 3 of the Miracle Land Subdivision would be replatted to
encompass the area of the existing mini -warehouse building. The replat has been
completed.
A. PROPOSAUREQUEST:
The applicant is now proposing to revise the previously approved PCD to allow
the construction of a restaurant building on previously platted Lot 2. The
applicant has indicated the development will occur in two phases with the
placement of a 10 -foot by 20 -foot prefabricated building on the site and the
construction of drives and parking areas to allow for a drive-thru coffee shop.
The applicant has indicated the Phase Il portion of the development will be the
construction of a larger (24 -feet by 50 -feet) site built building to be constructed in
conjunction with additional parking and drives to allow for drive-thru sales as well
as a small sitting area. The applicant has indicated upon completion of the site
built building, the prefabricated building will be removed from the site. The
applicant has indicated the anticipated time frame for removal of the temporary
building is 18 to 24 months.
The applicant has indicated the hours of operation will be from 6:00 am to 8:00
pm Monday through Friday and 6:00 am to 6:00 pm Saturday.
B. EXISTING CONDITIONS:
The site is vacant with trees covering the southern perimeter of the site; currently
zoned PCD. The site adjoins the flood plainlfloodway to the south in an area
zoned OS. There is a mini -storage development located to the east of the site
adjacent to 1-430. A carwash has been constructed on Lot 1. Other uses in the
area include a church located north of the site, a welding shop and a mixture of
auto related uses; ABC Salvage, a tire company, a used car lot.

F. ISSU ESITECH N ICAUDESIGN:
Planning Division: This request is located in the Otter Creek Planning District.
The Land Use Plan shows Commercial for this property. The applicant has
applied for a revision to a PCD (Planned Commercial Development) to allow the
construction of two buildings on the site, a restaurant and a coffee shop. The
request does not require a change to the Land Use Plan.
Bicycle Plan: A Class II bikeway is indicated on Stagecoach Road. A Class II
bikeway is located on the street as either a 5' shoulder or six foot marked bike
lane. Additional paving and right of way may be required.
Master Street Plan: Stagecoach Road is shown as a Principal Arterial on the
Master Street Plan. The primary function of a Principal Arterial is to serve
through traffic and to connect major traffic generators or activity centers within
urbanized areas. Stagecoach Road is built as a five -lane road with a center turn
lane through this section. Entrances and exits should be limited to minimize
negative effects on traffic, bicyclists, and pedestrians on Stagecoach Road.
Stagecoach Road may require dedication of right-of-way and may require street
and sidewalk improvements.
City Recognized Neighborhood Action Plan: The applicant's property lies in the
area covered by the Otter Creels - Crystal Valley neighborhood action plan. The
Public Safety goal listed one objective relevant to this case, "reduce speeding,
burglary, vandalism, and other criminal activity in the area through police
presence and enforcement." Several action statements that support the Public
Safety goal are related to this application: "ensure the construction of sidewalks
in all future developments by not granting variances for sidewalk construction,"
and "seek federal money for sidewalk construction along Stagecoach Road."
Since this development is on Stagecoach Road where sidewalks do not exist,
one should be constructed. The Office and Commercial Development goal is to
"promote commercial and office development that meets the needs of area
residents for shopping and services, maintains as much of the existing
topography, trees, and green space as possible, and enhances the primarily
residential character of the community." Action statements relating this goal to
this case reflect a notion to adhere to the current land use plan, resist
amendments to the plan, and require "businesses be accessed by loop streets
to minimize curb cuts and allow for attractive landscaping." Currently this
proposal is consistent with the land use plan. Minimal curb cuts on Stagecoach
Road would allow for additional landscaping.
Landscape: The plan submitted does not provide for the 8 -percent (961 square
feet) interior landscaping within the interior of the proposed paved areas. In
order to receive credit toward fulfilling interior landscaping requirements, interior
islands must be at least 7'h feet in width and 150 square feet in area. A small
amount of additional building landscaping will be required. Both interior and
4

building landscaping is a requirement of the landscaping ordinance. A variance
of these requirements will necessitate City Beautiful Commission approval.
G. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (May 5, 2005)
The applicant was present representing the request. Staff presented an
overview of the proposed development indicating the site plan as proposed did
not comply with current ordinance requirements. Staff stated the indicated
parking was backing into the service drive which was not allowed. Mr. Price
stated based on staff comments the owner had decided to limit the number of
buildings on the site to a temporary building and the permanent building
eliminating the third building proposed for the site. Staff questioned when the
permanent building would be constructed. The applicant stated within 18 -
months.
Public Works comments were addressed. Staff stated a grading permit would be
required prior to development of the site. Staff also stated sidewalks would be
required adjacent to Stagecoach Road.
Landscaping comments were addressed. Mr. Price stated with the elimination of
one of the buildings, meeting the required landscaping minimums would not be
an issue. He stated screening would also be placed along the perimeters of the
site where abutting single-family zoned properties.
There was no further discussion of the item. The Committee then forwarded the
item to the full Commission for final action.
H. ANALYSIS:
The applicant submitted a revised site plan to staff addressing the issues raised
at the May 5, 2005, Subdivision Committee meeting. The applicant has indicated
a temporary building will be added to the site to allow the owner to start sales of
from the site while the permanent building is being constructed. The applicant
has indicated the temporary building will be placed within the landscaped island
of the site adjacent to the access easement servicing the lot. The applicant has
indicated two parking spaces will be placed on the site to allow employee
parking. The applicant has indicated the temporary building will serve customers
by two drive-through lanes and will not have a seating area inside the building.
The applicant has revised the site plan to eliminate the backing into the service
drive as requested by staff. The applicant has also increased landscaped areas
and provided screening on the site to meet the minimum ordinance requirements.
